To be frank dementia is death but fuzzier and more drawn out. I know fron experience with Alzheimer'd in family - it is a loss of self such that by the end they were effectively dead for years - just confused remnants of personality and inability to interact meaningfully - it is horrifying. At least when someone in your family gets hit by a truck you know when you lost them.
